Re: Dexter!

Anyone know a good place to read episode recaps that explain what happened rather than provide analysis that only makes sense if you've already seen the episode? I have decided to quit watching until the last episode but would like to read recaps of the episodes until then.

Re: Dexter!

One of the reasons I was so excited for this season was because I thought the heat from last season was going to spill over into this season. There is no heat. Dexter was cleared from the first episode.

Yeah. I'm sure things will take a drastic turn (plot-wise), but up until now, there is nothing "final season"y in this at all. In other words, nothing intense/troubling/worrysome/EXCITING is happening to warrant this being a final season.

Re: Dexter!

So here is what I speculate:
Dr. V is also a psychopath (she shows no remorse for essentially encouraging and condoning the murdering of people by her patients), and she also had a son who is a psychopath. There was some sort of falling out with her and her son (maybe he killed his dad, don't know) and she was unable to help him, so she has spent the rest of her life trying to figure out how turn psychopaths into their "perfect" selves.

Her son is the Brain Surgeon killer. He goes after all of the patients his mother treated, out of jealousy or some shit, and taunts his mother by removing that part of their brain.

Her son is the late Cassie's boyfriend, the Ryan Gosling wanna-be character that swooped in on Dexter. He saw Dex and Dr. V getting close, so he started dating Dexter's neighbor to get close to Dexter's life. He also saw how close Zack and Dr. V were getting, so he gets jealous or whatever and tries to set him up for the murder of Cassie (using his blood etc.)...and eventually killing him to knock off another one of his mother's "sons".

Stretch?

Hahahaha, I would not be surprised at all if you're exactly right. Good job, man. I feel like I just watched that part of Old School where Ferrell goes into that trance while debating James Carville and rattles off all this amazing shit. "That's how you do it! That's how you predict the end of Dexter!"

Yeah. I don't remember him being so wide-eyed and psychotic looking. I'm looking back at old shots of past episodes though, and I think it's just that we weren't paying really close attention to him. He's always kinda looked like that.

Re: Dexter!

I was pretty thrilled to see all of that unfold, I've never called a twist before.

I still got to say though, this season is pretty underwhelming...Also, what the heck did they do to make Daniel V appear so much more menacing now? Other than revealing he's a brain hacking killer.

Well played DV. (I haven't watched the episode yet but have stopped giving a shit about spoilers in this thread). When I read your theory I thought it made perfect sense. But even this plot twist doesn't make this awful last season any better.

90210 is a superficial teen drama that I watched because it was a guilty pleasure. Hawaii Five-O is a procedural, usually just the kind of show that I hate but I have fun with this one, and should not be compared in the same class as a serial like Dexter or Breaking Bad.

Besides all that, yes, this is worse than most seasons of either of those shows.
